I submitted a ballot but accidentally left off my bottom five, so I resubmitted. Please take the longer ballot and discard the shorter one? Sorry!

I guess I should chuck a ballot into this thing since I was the lone Rebel Wizard voter in the non-metal poll ... been listening to a bunch of Chinese metal but obv none of that's nominated. What time on Saturday does the poll close? 's 9am where I am. Enjoying the Vespero and King Woman so far, though o_O at the latter's Stone Roses cover.

Don't forget to vote in the 10th annual metal poll tomorrow! Even if you send a ballot with only Ex Eye, Blanck Mass and Elder it will still be welcome!

Did anybody give the Solstafir album a listen? Their third masterpiece in a row. Siegbran loved it iirc
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Saturday, 3 February 2018 00:23 (six years ago) link
lj and tt i hope you give it a try
tbh I think Solstafir is something that could crossover on ilx

Favourite finds of the morning:
Big Brave - Surprised I didn't hear about this sooner, so thanks to whoever brought it up itt! Love the vocals and their delicacy as set against this slow grind Slagmaur - Victorian ghost story covered in mossPillorian - Heavy and melodic enough. I like how it changes it up every 30 seconds or so and still manages to sound evenly pacedSundays & Cybele - You had me at 'paisley'. A smoke-filled fabrics den on a sunny Sunday afternoon

Shit I think I forgot to vote for Slagmaur.

A few more quick albums on the last day of voting
Korto, this year's Comet Control though it's definitely harder candy. See also: power-pop Astronoidhttps://korto-yo.bandcamp.com/album/korto-s-t
Plastic Crimewave, spacy Stooges-style garage rock with the chaos element quite prominent https://cful.bandcamp.com/album/plastic-crimewave-syndicate-thunderbolt-of-flaming-wisdom
10000 Russos, kind of like a more postpunk/kraut-y Moon Duo but with plenty of oppressive sludginesshttps://fuzzclub.bandcamp.com/album/distress-distress
Moths & Locusts: this album has a lot more ideas than your average stoner releasehttps://mothsandlocusts.bandcamp.com/album/intro-outro

It's is a 3-wheeled race car that combines the past to future, advocates free public transportation and doesn't order dessert at a restaurant.
Haha this Korto is lovely! How do you find this stuff DAM?

Posting mine now, unweighted. There's a bunch of these I haven't heard yet but I'm sure I have in a folder full of promos. My bad.

(Also some of my picks I'd barely count as metal, like Oxbow and White Suns, but they were in the nominations so on my list they went.)

I resubmitted since I forgot two albums. Please discard the first ballot (with 12 albums) and accept the second (with 14). Sorry for the confusion.

Good, more people should hear it. Strictly speaking not metal of course, but unhinged apoplectic rage rarely sounded this good.
I’m really surprised this wasn’t even nominated in the regular poll.
― Siegbran, Saturday, 3 February 2018 21:20 (six years ago) link
because you forgot and nobody else heard it?
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Saturday, 3 February 2018 21:43 (six years ago) link
please remember if you vote to post here that you did so we can confirm it
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Saturday, 3 February 2018 21:49 (six years ago) link
I didnt nominate anything for the main poll, totally forgot. But more surprised that no-one else did.
― Siegbran, Saturday, 3 February 2018 21:49 (six years ago) link
I didn't nominate anything for it either due to my mum being in hospital and being too knackered to do it. So Electric Wizard even went un-nominated.
Only 2 metal albums made the 77 so I think metal poll not running first may have contributed to that?
Chelsea Wolfe only got 3 or 4 votes too so I'm thinking she may not do that well here? I forget if the last one placed.
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Saturday, 3 February 2018 21:56 (six years ago) link
Abyss was #6 in the metal poll and #26 in the general one

new album too metal for regular poll this year?
